Hi Folks

I know it was eons I posted something here. Glad to see it’s not shut down yet. 😁 Just wanted to open up a thread on what’s going on right now with the sens camp. Will Duchie, Stoner,Dzinger re-sign or will they all go on the trade block? I guess time will tell. Personally I think we will lose Stone and Duchene. Think about it they are in their prime now and do they want to sign with a team that may not be a play off contender for at least 5 plus years from now? Not very likely. I am not sure about Dzingel I have a feeling we will keep him. Lastly Guy Boucher what will happen to him? Most likely he will be let go as his contract is up this summer.  I hope Luke Richardson would be considered a candidate. Thoughts,  comments??  please share.

Thanks

Very disappointed that both Methot and Ryan was made available

Please share your thoughts

Amazing win what a joy and relief and to be able to sit back and watch who the opponent will be in the Eastern Conference Final. Caps I hope Go Sens Go !!!!

I think over all we are playing a much more aggressive defensive game, which has been so needed for too long. We do need start shooting the puck a lot more. I think it will come with time. I really do like Guy Boucher style as a coach. Lets hope Nicholle can win the battle over her cancer, Craig has played unbelievably well considering all he is currently going through. The shut out against the oilers was a real tear jerker just an amazing game I will never forget. The new goalie Mike Condon, oh boy is he ever good, love his style of play. Style reminds me a bit of Carey Price, the calmness etc. Just my 2 cents.

What are your thoughts so far? Would love to hear. Thanks

I remember the game chat sessions we use to have, it was quite a few joining in every time. I think possibly remarketing this site might pick up a few more. Also adding twitter Facebook and possibly Instagram could possibly revamp the traffic. Just a thought.

Also Guy Boucher doesn't need another coaching job right now that GUY needs Anger management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBUUPN_eaMU&feature=share

Bob Hartley now available as well. Another Ottawa-area guy.

Thanks, but no thanks! I truly believe Boudreau would be the right man for the job. Lets get him signed today 

If the ducks gets knocked off in the first round I'd say Bruce Boudreau (if he gets fired) would be an excellent candidate!
Maybe go after "Iron Mike" Keenan?    As MH says it wont be any rookie coach, thank goodness.
Oh and also did you guys read the article about how Sens should go after Stamkos should he become UFA?

Dream on I say. I am sure Ottawa is not on his list for sure.

Long time no see

First of all I have to say although we all knew it was coming down to firing Cameron, Melnyks comment 3 weeks prior was unnecessary and quite harsh. I liked Cameron but he just made too many weird moves/decisions.

I personally think Randy Carlisle would be a great coach. He has the experience and also Lord Stanley under his belt. What do you guys think?
